As per news reports , starting 2017 , NITI Aayog will
put an end to 5 year plans and come out with a 15 year ACTION PLAN
Some critics are bound to ask :
" In a
rapidly changing World , does it make sense to raise the planning horizon to 15
years , when social / political / economic and technological advances are
making it difficult to see beyond , even one year ? "
This argument can be best replied by the following
encounter that I had with an Indian friend who is settled in America and is
working for a Paper Manufacturing plant there , as Planning Manager
During one of his visits to India , we got to discuss
that favorite management subject called , " Long Term Strategic Planning
" for all types of " Inputs " that go into manufacturing of
paper ( manpower / finance / raw materials etc )
Talking about how his company goes about ensuring a
steady supply of 25,000 trees that his factory needs EVERY DAY , he said :
" EVERY DAY
, we plant 25,000 trees that we will need to cut and process , ONE HUNDRED
years from now
Our raw
material planning cycle is ONE HUNDRED years
"
Simply because it takes 20 / 30 years for a tree to
reach full height ( of 40 feet ), before it can be cut and fed as " raw
material " to the plant
As to the soft copy ( digital version ) replacing hard
copies of paper , he simply added :
"
Notwithstanding billions of computers , paper demand keeps growing !
May be not for writing , but for packaging / paper
towels / napkins etc "
So much for need for a long term Planning Horizon
One of these days , I will write about the various
steps of the Planning Process itself and the nature of an ACTION PLAN
